Hiiii guess who is talking about time- and self-management at the end of the month through #NEWomeninSTEM ?? I have met awesome women through this conference AND through their volunteer events.

I will be presenting much of the cannabinoid work I have been doing in the Mental Health and Addiction Program Rounds. My talk "Pharmacological Manipulation of the Endocannabinoid System" ties together my work with @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social and my current work with @brainsbeesbikes.bsky.social

Feeling like a ✨star✨ this weekend.

A student in the lab mentioned they have a committee meeting this week and I said “Oh ya. Me too.” Feel free to log into my defense on Wednesday to see all the work I have been doing the last few years!

The US is broadly a country that likes to invest in science. Even among Republicans this is true. But we are governed by an administration that is opposed to science, and is using procedural tools to limit spending and increase political control over the process.

Are you a grad student or postdoc that published in @acerjournal.bsky.social in 2025? Deadline is extended and we would love to read your paper and nomination letter!!

Good morning, we have two MATLAB terminals open and two HPC terminals open. Will probably have two RStudios open before EOD.

Happy Fri-YAY from this upbeat mix that got me through reading and editing papers yesterday. :-) problems for now, disco + house music 4ever youtu.be/-uXDErVXVUk

the only place this should happen is academic conferences

What I fail to remember when I accept a reviewer request is that I will have to read the paper again (and again....and again) until it is done. And no matter if I limit how many I accept to review, they still end up perfectly aligning to needing a review back in the same 14-day window.

I will never understand why NIAAA does this to their grantees. Foot draggiest IC. And NIDA isn’t much better. drugmonkey.wordpress.com/2024/12/12/i...

It's that time again! Reposts appreciated, we want to make sure as many potential science communicators see this as possible.

🎉 1st paper from my NIMH F32 fellowship examining risk and resilience factors + biological aging after trauma (mentors: @nateurneuro.bsky.social and Kerry Ressler!) Under certain conditions, resilience factors can have unexpected or even adverse effects....

New and competitive renewal awards. The number of awards is 569 compared with more than 2200 through the same date in earlier fiscal years. All ICs have now made awards except for NIAAA, NCCIH, NLM, FIC, and OD. NEI (Eye Institute) made its first award during the new period. 3/4

Today is the 18th anniversary of my first day sober. Despite no one asking, here is a thread of thoughts of a life in sobriety.

APPLICATION SUBMITTED 1 HOUR BEFORE THE NATIONAL DEADLINE. ONLY HAD A SMALL HEART ATTACK.

A history of how the #NIH came to be. The purpose of the NIH is to support science innovation. Government support of science grows the economy, brings power and prosperity to the country. This was part of the budget increase after WWI. It became our backbone. 🧪 theconversation.com/how-the-nih-...

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally

Hit a brain wall this week writing my K. Took yesterday off and went to the #JoslynArtMuseum . Decided to focus on details and took a lot of pictures of signatures I liked.

Firmly believe this would serve multiple needs.

Second R01 for the lab submitted despite it all. Levi is taking all the credit for it (co-I of course). Anyway continue calling your senators and reps. ICE has not left and we are still under a paramilitary occupation. My students are not safe and shouldn’t have to feel this way.

CAAS Associate Professor Hayley Treloar Padovano discusses Dry January (and beyond) with Women's Health.

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Always helpful to have another opinion

You will be sitting at your desk, excited to leave, when you are suddenly struck with the reminder that you have to go to the store on your way home. This is like the hell of "getting gas in the morning"
